Lifelong Rangers fan with a passion for the farm system. When I’m not covering minor league baseball, I’m enjoying time with my family and exploring the Rangers' next big stars.
*Update* Joe Barlow was promoted from AA Frisco to AAA Nashville on July 15, 2019. Rewind to last month when I was having some fun with the Frisco Roughriders communications team about following me on Twitter. After some lobbying and fun banter, they accepted. I asked Twitter for followers and

Every Series for the RoughRiders is important for the next month and half +. (A little less than 2 months). If they want to make the post-season they've got to start winning Series. The RoughRiders got off to a good start last night as they beat the Hooks by

The RoughRiders need a series win in the worst of ways. Since leading the Texas League in most of the first half, they have not been able to consistently get in the all important win column. They missed out on getting a post-season spot in the 1st half by 1

It was a beautiful night at Dr Pepper Ballpark to catch some RoughRiders baseball. It was St Jude night meaning that every ticket sold benefited St Jude. If you haven't been to Dr Pepper Ballpark and are in the DFW area, you really need to. They also have

Christian Lopes promoted to Triple-A Nashville. Somehow his promotion slipped by me until I was looking at the box score for the Nashville Sounds game. I realize that we don't cover all the promotions in the Rangers farm system as it's hard to do with just

Juremi Profar promoted to Triple-A Nashville. Most people probably know him as Jurickson Profar's younger brother but he has been with the Rangers organization since he was 17 and playing in the Dominican Summer League in 2013. This year, Juremi Profar has had a solid season with the
How do you bring a baseball game to life when you can't be there in person? You listen to the play by play of said game, and there's not many better with passion for the City of Nashville and baseball than Jeff Hem. I did an

One of the Texas Rangers top prospects, Leody Taveras is heading to Double-A Frisco. Taveras, 20, is the Rangers number 6 prospect according to the?MLB.com's top 30. It does depend on the list but he is consistently in the top 10 of pretty much every list

The Rangers have made quite a few moves today to try and solidify their Major-League starting pitching and bullpen. One of the guys getting the call is former RoughRider, Locke St. John. Rangers moves for Thursday: LHP Kyle Bird recalled from Nashville. LHP Locke St. John selected from Nashville. LHP
Did anyone else notice the bizarre lineup that the Riders put forward last night? It was perhaps the craziest lineup I have ever seen in my life. Completely randomized, or so it would appear. But, it is impossible to argue with the results. The Riders put up 5 runs, including
